Same. I think I've now explained Leroy Jenkins to my wife like six times. She needs to pay attention.
Am I the only one that LOVES Hank? He was barely in this episode, but he's straight out of an Elmore Leonard novel.

lol Leroy Jenkins still managing to be funny in 2018. Great episode. I don't know what it is but I'm really loving the feel/vibe of this show. Has a quality to it. Just the amount of talent behind the boards probably between bill hader, Alec berg, hiro murai directing, etc...
So great.
So great.

Wasn't it the black marine that got shot as he was driving? I dunno if the crazy dude got hit/killed.
They both got hit. Just Barry and the other guy in the back are still alive.
Really wish Taylor didn't get it, I was liking his character and off the wall attitude, especially as a thorn in Fuches side.

Yeah, definitely the funniest episode yet, the money plot felt a little Curb-y even. Also, Henry Winkler is the best part of the show, yet the less time Barry spends in acting class, the better it seems to be so far.
I could have sworn he also played the Wallace Corp front desk guy in BR: 2049, but it turns out that's a gentleman named Tómas Lemarquis, who actually has Alopecia Universalis. #themoreyouknow
Good. As a vet, I couldn't stand those kinds of people.
I also enjoy the acting class segments, but I have experience in that world.
I love how little Barry gets called out for his terrible acting.

Not really sure why, but that struck me as a total Breaking Bad moment.
Everybody who watches Gotham already knew how great he was.
Could you clarify a bit? How realistic of a portrayal was this of someone who never left the warzone jarhead mindset?
Obviously the voicemail messages were for jokes but I'm curious how the rest of the character landed for you as a vet.
I'm a bit confused on if Sally's supposed to actually be a talented actress or if she's just really arrogant (or both). Every time we've seen her act, there's been something to obscure rather or not she's actually good at it-Barry being awful to play off of, Barry not wanting to do a scene, her being jealous of her successful friend, etc. Meanwhile, the rest of the class besides Henry Winkler has been successfully established to be awful at it.
My read on it is that she's supposed to be kind of decent, but she never got a big break and just as she got close to one her would-be manager tried to make a move on her, and in rebuffing him while still trying to appease him, she lost her chance at one.

This show could easily fall in the Dexter hole of like able anti-hero who tries to go against programming and makes stupid mistakes that setup long season arcs of dealing with the mistakes and rectifying them at the end of the season. Instead we have a like able anti-hero who makes a mistake in the same episode that he solves it in. I'm really fucking glad this show is only 30 minutes long. Lean and mean. I could easily see this show falling into the weeds on things if they didn't constrict themselves to a short play time.
